高動態範圍感測裝置及其感測方法High dynamic range sensing device and sensing method thereof 【0001】【0001】

本發明係有關於一種高動態範圍感測裝置及其感測方法,尤其是指一種利用控制單元由複數不同感測範圍之感測單元取得之感測值中快速捨去訊號飽和之感測值,同時於感測單元間快速切換以達成高動態範圍感測者。The present invention relates to a high dynamic range sensing device and a sensing method thereof, and more particularly to a sensing value for quickly erasing signal saturation in a sensing value obtained by a sensing unit of a plurality of different sensing ranges by using a control unit.

動物隨時都面臨著大量的環境資訊,然而動物體內的能量物質資源是有限的,因此不可能對環境中所有的刺激做出反應,而必須對感覺器官收集到的資訊進行篩選,才能妥善運用資源針對重要的刺激做出反應,以延續動物的生存。Animals are faced with a lot of environmental information at any time. However, the energy resources of animals are limited, so it is impossible to respond to all the stimuli in the environment. The information collected by the sensory organs must be screened in order to properly use the resources. Respond to important stimuli to continue the survival of animals.

【0003】[0003]

刺激由感覺神經到感覺中樞的過程中,會經過兩種篩選,其中一種篩選發生在周邊神經系統,使得來自環境中的不必要情報在感官階段即被去除,另一種篩選則發生在中樞神經系統,對情報進一步地篩選。例如,氣味分子與果蠅觸角葉的細胞接觸後,訊號被傳送到後方的嗅覺小球後會經過雜訊過濾與訊號強化的過程,再傳送到腦部的蕈狀體進行對訊號的分析判斷,最後才傳送到腦部更高層的位置,使果蠅對氣味來源做出躲避或靠近等反應。In the process of stimulating the sensory nerve to the sensory center, there are two kinds of screening, one of which occurs in the peripheral nervous system, so that unnecessary information from the environment is removed in the sensory stage, and another screening occurs in the central nervous system. Further screening of intelligence. For example, after the odor molecules are in contact with the cells of the antennae of the Drosophila, the signal is transmitted to the rear olfactory globule and then passes through the process of noise filtering and signal enhancement, and then transmitted to the scorpion of the brain for analysis and judgment of the signal. Finally, it is transmitted to the higher level of the brain, allowing the fruit fly to evade or approach the source of the odor.

【0004】[0004]

在動物的神經系統中透過訊號路徑間的反饋與抑制可以使動物對訊號做出快速的篩選與反應,發明人以此作為靈感,構思一種能夠迅速在由數個感測單元或其取得的數個感測值間做出選擇的感測裝置,藉由安排各感測單元的感測範圍分布,可以達到高動態範圍的效果。In the animal's nervous system, feedback and suppression between the signal paths enable the animal to quickly screen and respond to the signal. The inventor used this as an inspiration to conceive a number that can be quickly obtained by several sensing units.

In order to simplify the judgment, the control unit preferentially discards the sensing value obtained by the signal saturation sensing unit, and selects the most sensitive one among the sensing units that do not reach the signal saturation.

【0014】[0014]

本發明係一種高動態範圍感測裝置及其感測方法,其特色在於:利用控制單元比較各感測單元取得之感測值與其感測上限,快速捨去等於感測上限之感測值以排除對目標訊號出現訊號飽和之感測單元,藉此於不同感測範圍之各感測單元間進行切換或由各感測值中選取最適合者,並可透過安排各感測單元之感測範圍達成高動態範圍感測之效果。The invention is a high dynamic range sensing device and a sensing method thereof, which are characterized in that: the sensing unit compares the sensing value obtained by each sensing unit with the sensing upper limit, and quickly discards the sensing value equal to the sensing upper limit. Excluding the sensing unit that saturates the signal of the target signal, thereby switching between the sensing units of different sensing ranges or selecting the most suitable one among the sensing values, and arranging the sensing of each sensing unit The range achieves the effect of high dynamic range sensing.

【0015】[0015]

首先請參閱第一A圖、第一B圖以及第一C圖,其係本發明第一實施例之元件連接關係示意圖、方法步驟流程圖以及裝置結構示意圖;如第一A圖所示,本發明之高動態範圍感測裝置1用於測量一目標訊號2,此高動態範圍感測裝置1至少包含一控制單元10、一第一感測單元12以及一第二感測單元14,該第一感測單元12與該第二感測單元14分別與該控制單元10電性連接。First, please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and the first C diagram, which are schematic diagrams of component connection relationships, method steps, and device structure diagrams of the first embodiment of the present invention; as shown in FIG. The high dynamic range sensing device 1 is configured to measure a target signal 2, the high dynamic range sensing device 1 includes at least a control unit 10, a first sensing unit 12, and a second sensing unit 14, A sensing unit 12 and the second sensing unit 14 are electrically connected to the control unit 10 respectively.

【0016】[0016]

該第一感測單元12與該第二感測單元14同時感測該目標訊號2而分別取得一第一感測值與一第二感測值,該第一感測值與該第二感測值並傳送至該控制單元10。The first sensing unit 12 and the second sensing unit 14 simultaneously sense the target signal 2 to obtain a first sensing value and a second sensing value, respectively, the first sensing value and the second sensing The measured value is transmitted to the control unit 10.

【0017】[0017]

該第一感測單元12感測訊號之上限為一第一感測上限、感測之訊號下限為一第一感測下限,該第一感測下限與該第一感測上限之間稱為該第一感測單元12之一第一感測範圍,另,該第二感測單元14感測訊號之上限為一第二一感測上限、感測訊號之下限為一第二感測下限,該第二感測下限與該第一二感測上限之間稱為該第二感測單元14之一第二感測範圍。The upper limit of the sensing signal of the first sensing unit 12 is a first sensing upper limit, and the lower limit of the sensing signal is a first sensing lower limit, and the first sensing lower limit and the first sensing upper limit are called The first sensing unit 12 has a first sensing range. The upper limit of the sensing signal of the second sensing unit 14 is a second one sensing upper limit, and the lower limit of the sensing signal is a second sensing lower limit. The second sensing lower limit and the first second sensing upper limit are referred to as one of the second sensing ranges of the second sensing unit 14 .

【0018】[0018]

該第一感測上限小於該第二感測上限,意即該第一感測單元12比該第二感測單元14容易達到訊號飽和,當該目標訊號2之實際值大於或等於該第一感測上限時,該第一感測值等於該第一感測上限,呈現訊號飽和而無法反映該目標訊號2之實際值,此時,若該目標訊號2之實際值尚小於該第二感測上限且仍在該第二感測範圍內,則可透過該第二感測值反映該目標訊號2之實際值。The first sensing upper limit is smaller than the second sensing upper limit, that is, the first sensing unit 12 is easier to achieve signal saturation than the second sensing unit 14 when the actual value of the target signal 2 is greater than or equal to the first When the upper limit is sensed, the first sensed value is equal to the first sensed upper limit, and the signal is saturated and cannot reflect the actual value of the target signal 2. At this time, if the actual value of the target signal 2 is still smaller than the second sense When the upper limit is measured and is still within the second sensing range, the actual value of the target signal 2 can be reflected by the second sensed value.

【0019】[0019]

本實施例中,該第一感測下限小於該第二感測下限,意即該第一感測單元12比該第二感測單元14靈敏,另,該第二感測下限小於該第一感測上限,透過安排該第一感測範圍與該第二感測範圍彼此銜接,可涵蓋實際值範圍更廣之該目標訊號2,而達到高動態範圍之感測。In this embodiment, the first sensing lower limit is smaller than the second sensing lower limit, that is, the first sensing unit 12 is more sensitive than the second sensing unit 14, and the second sensing lower limit is smaller than the first The sensing upper limit is achieved by arranging the first sensing range and the second sensing range to be connected to each other, and the target signal 2 having a wider range of actual values can be covered to achieve high dynamic range sensing.

【0020】[0020]

因此,當該第一感測值等於該第一感測上限時,即該第一感測單元12已達訊號飽和,該控制單元10捨去該第一感測值而取該第二感測值,反之,當該第一感測值小於該第一感測上限時,該控制單元10捨去該第二感測值而取該第一感測值。Therefore, when the first sensing value is equal to the first sensing upper limit, that is, the first sensing unit 12 has reached signal saturation, the control unit 10 rounds off the first sensing value and takes the second sensing. The value, on the other hand, when the first sensing value is less than the first sensing upper limit, the control unit 10 rounds off the second sensing value to take the first sensing value.

【0021】[0021]

如第一B圖所示,本發明之高動態範圍感測裝置之感測方法至少包含以下步驟:As shown in FIG. B, the sensing method of the high dynamic range sensing device of the present invention includes at least the following steps:

【0022】[0022]

步驟S10:第一感測單元感測目標訊號並取得第一感測值,同時第二感測單元感測目標訊號並取得第二感測值;Step S10: The first sensing unit senses the target signal and obtains the first sensing value, and the second sensing unit senses the target signal and obtains the second sensing value;

【0023】[0023]

步驟S20:控制單元接收第一感測值與第二感測值;Step S20: The control unit receives the first sensing value and the second sensing value;

【0024】[0024]

步驟S30:控制單元比較第一感測值與第一感測上限;Step S30: The control unit compares the first sensing value with the first sensing upper limit;

【0025】[0025]

步驟S40:控制單元捨去第一感測值;及Step S40: the control unit rounds off the first sensing value; and

【0026】[0026]

步驟S42:控制單元捨去第二感測值。Step S42: The control unit discards the second sensing value.

【0027】[0027]

步驟S10中,利用本發明之高動態範圍感測裝置1感測該目標訊號1時,該第一感測單元12與該第二感測單元14同時感測該目標訊號2並如前述分別取得該第一感測值與該第二感測值,而於步驟S20中,該第一感測單元12與該第二感測單元14分別將該第一感測值與該第二感測值傳送至該控制單元10,該控制單元10則可透過步驟S30,比較該第一感測值與該第一感測上限以對該第一感測值與該第二感測值進行取捨。In the step S10, when the target signal 1 is sensed by the high dynamic range sensing device 1 of the present invention, the first sensing unit 12 and the second sensing unit 14 simultaneously sense the target signal 2 and obtain the target signals 2 as described above. The first sensing value and the second sensing value, and the first sensing unit 12 and the second sensing unit 14 respectively respectively the first sensing value and the second sensing value in step S20 The control unit 10 can transmit the first sensing value and the first sensing upper limit to compare the first sensing value and the second sensing value by using the step S30.

【0028】[0028]

如前所述,當該第一感測值等於該第一感測上限時,顯示該目標訊號2造成該第一感測單元12訊號飽和,進行步驟S40,該控制單元10捨去該感第一測值而取該第二感測值,反之,當該第一感測值小於該第一感測上限時,顯示該第一感測單元12尚未達到訊號飽和之程度,進行步驟S42,該控制單元10捨去該第二感測值而取該第一感測值。As described above, when the first sensing value is equal to the first sensing upper limit, displaying the target signal 2 causes the first sensing unit 12 to be signal saturated, and in step S40, the control unit 10 discards the sense.

請參閱第二A圖、第二B圖以及第二C圖,其係本發明第二實施例之元件連接關係示意圖、方法步驟流程圖以及裝置結構示意圖;如第二A圖所示,本實施例與第一實施例之主要差別在於:本實施例中該第二感測單元14係由該第一感測單元12與一訊號過濾單元120組成,該訊號過濾單元120設置於該第一感測單元12與該目標訊號2間,以過濾該目標訊號2。Please refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, which are schematic diagrams of component connection relationship, method step flow chart and device structure diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention; as shown in FIG. 2A, the implementation The main difference between the example and the first embodiment is that the second sensing unit 14 is composed of the first sensing unit 12 and a signal filtering unit 120, and the signal filtering unit 120 is disposed in the first sense. The measuring unit 12 is connected to the target signal 2 to filter the target signal 2.

經過該訊號過濾單元120過濾之該目標訊號2,將使該第二感測單元14包含之該第一感測單元12產生較低之該第二感測值,相當於將原本該第一感測單元12較低之該第一感測上限與該第一感測下限透過該訊號過濾單元120之設置調整為較高之該第二感測上限與該第二感測下限。The target signal 2 filtered by the signal filtering unit 120 causes the first sensing unit 12 included in the second sensing unit 14 to generate the second sensing value, which is equivalent to the first feeling. The first sensing upper limit and the first sensing lower limit of the measuring unit 12 are adjusted to be higher by the second sensing upper limit and the second sensing lower limit by the setting of the signal filtering unit 120.

如第二B圖所示,該控制單元10於步驟S30仍是透過比較該第一感測值與該第一感測上限判斷該第一感測值與該第二感測值之取捨,而由於該第二感測值為感測經過該訊號過濾單元120過濾之該目標訊號2,而非該目標訊號2之實際值,本實施例於步驟S60後進一步包含以下步驟:As shown in FIG. 2B, the control unit 10 determines, by comparing the first sensing value with the first sensing upper limit, the first sensing value and the second sensing value by comparing the first sensing value. Since the second sensing value is the target signal 2 filtered by the signal filtering unit 120 instead of the actual value of the target signal 2, the embodiment further includes the following steps after the step S60:

【0038】[0038]

步驟S60:處理單元還原第一感測值。Step S60: The processing unit restores the first sensing value.

該訊號過濾單元120過濾該目標訊號2時可將該目標訊號2以一比例降低,步驟S60中該處理單元16則依此比例將該第二感測值還原,如該訊號過濾單元120可將該目標訊號2濾去20%,則該處理單元16應將該第二感測值還原至125%以得到該目標訊號2之實際值。When the signal filtering unit 120 filters the target signal 2, the target signal 2 can be reduced by a ratio. In step S60, the processing unit 16 restores the second sensing value according to the ratio, for example, the signal filtering unit 120 can If the target signal 2 filters out 20%, the processing unit 16 should restore the second sensing value to 125% to obtain the actual value of the target signal 2.

該第三感測單元100感測訊號之上限為一第三感測上限、感測之訊號下限為一第三感測下限,該第三感測下限與該第三感測上限之間稱為該第三感測單元100之一第三感測範圍,該第三感測範圍應涵蓋該第一感測上限,以使該第三感測值可作為判斷該第一感測單元12是否已達訊號飽和之依據。The upper limit of the sensing signal of the third sensing unit 100 is a third sensing upper limit, and the sensing lower limit is a third sensing lower limit, and the third sensing lower limit and the third sensing upper limit are called a third sensing range of the third sensing unit 100, the third sensing range should cover the first sensing upper limit, so that the third sensing value can be used as a determination whether the first sensing unit 12 has The basis for the saturation of the signal.

如第三B圖所示,因應該第三感測單元100之設置,步驟S10調整為步驟S12、步驟S30調整為步驟S32、步驟S40調整為步驟S44、步驟S42調整為步驟S46:As shown in FIG. 3B, in response to the setting of the third sensing unit 100, step S10 is adjusted to step S12, step S30 is adjusted to step S32, step S40 is adjusted to step S44, and step S42 is adjusted to step S46:

步驟S32:控制單元比較第三感測值與第一感測上限;Step S32: The control unit compares the third sensing value with the first sensing upper limit;

步驟S12中,該第一感測單元12、該第二感測單元14以及該第三感測單元100同時感測該目標訊號2並分別取得該第一感測值、該第二感測值以及該第三感測值。In step S12, the first sensing unit 12, the second sensing unit 14, and the third sensing unit 100 simultaneously sense the target signal 2 and respectively obtain the first sensing value and the second sensing value. And the third sensed value.

【0050】[0050]

如前所述,本實施例中該控制單元10係根據該第三感測值決定該第一感測值與該第二感測值之取捨或切換該第一感測單元12與該第二感測單元14,因此於步驟S32中,該控制單元10係比較該第三感測值與該第一感測上限以判斷應捨去該第一感測值或該第二感測值,或者應中斷該第一感測單元12或該第二感測單元14之感測。As described above, in the embodiment, the control unit 10 determines, according to the third sensing value, a tradeoff between the first sensing value and the second sensing value, or switches the first sensing unit 12 and the second The sensing unit 14 is configured to compare the third sensing value with the first sensing upper limit to determine whether the first sensing value or the second sensing value should be discarded, or The sensing of the first sensing unit 12 or the second sensing unit 14 should be interrupted.

【0051】[0051]

當該第三感測值大於或等於該第一感測上限時,顯示該目標訊號2造成該第一感測單元12訊號飽和,此時進行步驟S44,該控制單元10捨去該感第一測值而取該第二感測值或者中斷該第一感測單元12之感測,反之,當該第三感測值小於該第一感測上限時,顯示該第一感測單元12尚未達到訊號飽和之程度,則進行步驟S46,該控制單元10捨去該第二感測值而取該第一感測值或者中斷該第二感測單元14之感測。由於本實施例中該控制單元10以該第三感測值而非該第一感測單元12饋返之該第一感測值作為判斷之依據,因此中斷該第一感測單元12仍不會影響本實施例之高動態範圍感測裝置1正常運作。When the third sensing value is greater than or equal to the first sensing upper limit, displaying the target signal 2 causes the first sensing unit 12 to be signal saturated. At this time, proceeding to step S44, the control unit 10 rounds off the sense. Taking the second sensing value or interrupting the sensing of the first sensing unit 12, and when the third sensing value is less than the first sensing upper limit, the first sensing unit 12 is not yet displayed. After the signal saturation is reached, the control unit 10 takes the second sensing value to take the first sensing value or interrupt the sensing of the second sensing unit 14. Because the control unit 10 in the embodiment uses the third sensing value instead of the first sensing value fed back by the first sensing unit 12 as a basis for determining, the first sensing unit 12 is still not interrupted.

The measured value is used as the judgment basis of the control unit 10, so that the sensing of the first sensing unit 12 or the second sensing unit 14 can be further interrupted, in addition to the first sensing value and the second sensing value. And switching between the first sensing unit 12 and the second sensing unit 14.

如第二C圖所示,本實施例中之動態範圍感測裝置1亦可用於進行聲波之感測,透過控制單元10中可感測音量之第三感測單元100感測該目標訊號2,以於對音量感測範圍不同之兩個麥克風(即該第一感測單元12與該第二感測單元14)間進行切換,如此,可於音量較小時使用該第一感測下限較低(較敏感)之該第一感測單元12,而於音量較大時使用該第二感測上限較高之該第二感測單元14,避免過大的音量引起噴麥等雜訊干擾現象。As shown in FIG. 2C, the dynamic range sensing device 1 of the present embodiment can also be used for sensing sound waves. The third sensing unit 100 that can sense the volume in the control unit 10 senses the target signal 2 In order to switch between two microphones having different volume sensing ranges (ie, the first sensing unit 12 and the second sensing unit 14), so that the first sensing lower limit can be used when the volume is small. The first sensing unit 12 is lower (more sensitive), and the second sensing unit 14 having a higher upper sensing limit is used when the volume is louder, so as to avoid excessive noise caused by noise interference such as sprayed wheat. phenomenon.

綜上所述,本發明之高動態範圍感測裝置及其感測方法中,首先由各感測單元取得感測值,再利用控制單元優先比較感測上限較低之感測單元取得之感測值與其感測上限,捨去等於感測上限之感測值或中斷所取得之感測值等於感測上限之感測單元之感測,以快速排除對目標訊號出現訊號飽和之感測單元與其取得之感測值,藉此可於不同感測範圍之各感測單元間進行切換或由各感測值中選取最適合者,並可透過安排各感測單元之感測範圍達成高動態範圍感測之效果。In summary, in the high dynamic range sensing device and the sensing method thereof, the sensing values are first obtained by each sensing unit, and then the sensing unit preferentially compares the sensing units with lower sensing upper limits. The measured value and the sensing upper limit are rounded off, and the sensing unit equal to the sensing upper limit or the sensing value obtained by the interruption is equal to the sensing unit of the sensing upper limit, so as to quickly eliminate the sensing unit that is saturated with the signal of the target signal. The sensing value obtained by the method can be switched between the sensing units of different sensing ranges or the most suitable ones can be selected from the sensing values, and the dynamic range can be achieved by arranging the sensing ranges of the sensing units.
